Rising Canadian country artist Taylor-Rae is poised to make waves once again with the release of her new EP Honest on April 5, 2024 via all streaming platforms.
SWOMP caught up Taylor-Rae for an interview. Listen, below:
Honest is a collection of six tracks that showcase Taylor-Rae’s raw originality and dynamic versatility as displayed in the EP’s title track “Honest”.
The EP also includes the enormous power-ballad “Are You Still Up,” which debuted at #3 on the iTunes Country Chart.
Taylor-Rae’s journey as an artist is a testament to her authenticity and resilience.
“The release of my EP Honest has truly been a journey of coming into my own as an artist and finding my voice,” she said in a media release.
“Capping off this project with the focus track “Honest” feels so fitting as it encompasses so many of the ups and downs I have felt throughout the process of finding my lane in Country Music. This EP is putting a bow on this era of music and I couldn’t be more excited to share it.”
